UNDP MediaWiki Extension Analysis
The Water Team in the United Nations Development Programme, Regional Centre in Bratislava initiated an innovative pilot project to capture and exchange knowledge on water-related project activities. The motivation behind this project is to provide a valuable on-line tool which combines knowledge gathering, experience and on-line collaboration for water & sanitation experts and practitioners working in different projects and countries. WaterWiki, implemented using MediaWiki software, is a free server-based software licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It is designed to run on a large server farms and, hence, is an extremely powerful, scalable, and feature-rich Wiki software implementation, that uses PHP to process and display data stored in its MySQL database. WaterWiki uses Media Wiki’s WikiText format, which poses a problem with users who are unfamiliar with the specification. We will therefore evaluate five WYSIWWG extensions and evaluate their suitability for use with MediaWiki software using a variety of criteria. The editors evaluated are TinyMCE, FCKeditor +Wikia, MeanEditor, Wikiwyg, and Mozile.
